Majestic Steel USA Builds Blytheville, Arkansas, Operations-Processing Complex

09/03/2021
Majestic Steel USA, Inc. plans to open a new state-of-the-art service center and processing facility on the campus of Nucor Steel in Blytheville, Arkansas. The project is expected to create 225 jobs.

The expansive 515,000 sq. ft. facility will feature next generation processing and warehousing equipment. As a master distribution site, the addition of the Arkansas location enables Majestic to better service customers in central and southern regions of the United States, company officials said.

"Today's announcement cements our commitment to provide the best supply chain solution and value add to our customers and further strengthens our partnership with Nucor," said Todd Leebow, Majestic President and CEO. "Our intention with this investment is to offer our customers in the region the combined benefit of localized service and national resources."

The on-campus site will provide close proximity to production and Nucor's new galvanized line currently under construction; creating greater supply chain optimization, operational efficiencies, and inevitably shorter lead times for customers in the area. The company expects the new facility to be fully operational by the end of 2022.

"I'm pleased to welcome Majestic Steel to Northeast Arkansas," said Governor Asa Hutchinson. "The company is making a significant investment in the state thanks to the hardworking, dedicated employees in the steel industry, and the jobs being created will go a long way in improving the quality of life for families in the area."
